Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Avast ye "small change" of useful
education, you read that just right. Wonder if this person duct tapes a
parrot on their shoulder and wears an eye patch while loading other
software? geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze

Agreed.. Anyone who has ever had a dongle break, get lost, or be in a
older, now passe connector knows just how big a pain dongles can be.

One of the biggest problems with dongles is that when the above
occurs, most manufacturers will not let you purchase a replacement
dongle , even though your software is legally purchased. Instead, they
insist that you re-purchase all the software, etc. again.. This is
really wrong considering how expensive the software is.

Dongles are such old technology that they are easily bypassed these
days mostly by kids. All of the HV/Pfaff dongle programmes have
been cracked for ages and posted to P2P groups like Limewire etc.
including the new ones. Passwords still work much better but then all
it takes is one shared and they are no guarantee either. Again it
comes down to individuals and how they conduct themselves.

My evil twin would like to send an installer, a bunch of random text, and
a nice little screen saver that comes up, says in flashing neon blue and
